okay, I'm willing to show some humility and say I misjudged . . didn't know you had people in AC . . I just remember moving from Lawrence, Kansas to Bezerkeley when I was 19 with nothing but a semi-committed girlfriend . . within six weeks, I was painting houses (part-time) and she was working in a massage parlor. Not the 1972 social revelation I had been looking for. I was back in Lawrence (sans girlfriend) in 8 months, in time to get a job, move in with some buddies and burn our rental house down for Xmas (but that's another story). But, upon reflection, I wouldn't change a thing. So go for it . . .the worst that will happen is that you will have some great stories to tell. smile

When you find a big kettle of crazy, it's best not to stir it.
